Intro
From the beginning of the church at Pentecost to the writing of Revelation, 60 years have passed.
It does not take a long time for “mission creep” to set in.
“Mission creep is the expansion of a project or mission beyond its original goals, often after initial successes.
Mission creep is usually considered undesirable due to the dangerous path of each success breeding more ambitious attempts, only stopping when a final, often catastrophic, failure occurs.”
I. Love, Faith and Endurance.
Last works are greater than the first.
II.
The desire to compromise.
Jezebel
Sexual Immorality
Eating food offered in sacrifice to other gods.
Even in the early church the greatest danger was fighting against pluralism.
“For some people today tolerance is the only real virtue and intolerance the only vice.”
In spite of compromise there is a call to perseverance
Why do I strive towards holiness?
III.
Churches should learn from other Churches.
Christ was going to make an example of the church of Thyatira
Man’s opinions do not matter as much as would like to think.
When we are obedient, God is pleased
God alone judges.
The heart
The Mind
The removing of lampstands was important for the entire church community, lessens can be learned from closing churches.
Application
Return to mission creep.
Fight against pluralism
“What kind of heavenly father would send his own son to the cross if the plan of salvation was multiple choice.”
Galations 2:21
Why would millions of people over the centuries be willing to die to perpetuate a lie?
The hardest thing in life is continuing to do the right thing when the rest of the world is following their own fleshly desires.
